New Blog | Introducing the MDTI Premium Data Connector for Sentinel
The MDTI and Unified Security Operations Platform teams are excited to introduce an MDTI data connector available in the Unified Security Operations Platform and standalone Sentinel experiences. The connector enables customers to apply the powerful raw and finished threat intelligence in MDTI, including high-fidelity indicators of compromise (IoCs), across their security operations to detect and respond to the latest threats.
Microsoft researchers, with the backing of interdisciplinary teams of thousands of experts spread across 77 countries, continually add new analysis of threat activity observed across more than 78 trillion threat signals to MDTI, including powerful indicators drawn directly from threat infrastructure. In Sentinel, this intelligence enables enhanced threat detection, enrichment of incidents for rapid triage, and the ability to launch investigations that proactively surface external threat infrastructure before it can be used in campaigns.
This blog will highlight the exciting use cases for the MDTI premium data connector, including enhanced enrichment, threat detection, and hunting to ensure customer organizations are protected against the most critical threats. It will also cover how you can easily get started with this out-of-the-box connector.

Marge type replication error
I have two sql servers that receive data from an application, they replicate in marge mode. I turned off the replicant and it was off for a couple of hours. I also stopped the sql service and the replication agent. When I turned it back on I lost some data as it aligned. Can you help me recover them and understand what happened?

Publishing UWP application for a specific model of XBox
Hi,
Currently we have an UWP application which is compatible with all XBox versions.
We would like to publish an update but only for XBox One(NOT for XBox X and S).
Could you please provide us some information about that?
Is it possible to do this and if yes – how can we do that?
Thanks!

How to migrate SQL MI to different region
We created our Azure SQL MI in region US West, which does not support Zone redundancy. While we don’t require it now, we may require it in the future. What options do we have now vs later to enable this? We have not gone live yet so we have the option to rebuild it entirely in a supported region, but if we decide not to do that, are there other options? I’m thinking we would set up a new Azure SQL MI in a new region and use Availability Groups to replicate the data.

Pinned channels: no breadcrumb trail to quickly go to the parent Team?
When we go to a pinned channel, there’s no quick way of going ‘up’ a level to the parent Team’s ‘general channel’. I’d expect the team icon at the top left of the pinned channel to be a hyperlink. Is anybody else frustrated by this lack of functionality.

Is there version compatibility for the Model Advisor Configuration?
I get the following error message when trying to load a MATLAB R2020a Model Advisor Configuration JSON file in MATLAB R2020b:
Unable to load check "mathworks.jmaab.jc_0627". The check information specified in configuration file might be different than information needed for this release of the check. For example, if the number of check input parameters has changed from a previous release when you open the configuration file, the check does not load.
I confirmed that the check "jc_0627" exists in both R2020a and R2020b.
To produce this issue, I selected only "Check usage of Discrete-Time Integrator block (jc_0627)" in Model Advisor and saved it as a JSON file through the Model Advisor Configuration Editor in MATLAB R2020a. Then I loaded the saved JSON in R2020b through Model Advisor Configuration Editor. However, when I tested the above same workflow in R2020b to R2021a, there is no compatibility issue.

I need to run Optimization using models I generated in Regression Learner
Hi, all!
I desperately need help. As the title says, I generated multiple surrogate models on Regression Learner; now I need to use these models in a gradient-based optimization process.
I’ve tried Export>Generate Function & Export>Export Model / Export Model For Deployment. None of them work, I don’t understand how anything works. If I can convert the surrogate models into matlab functions, these matlab functions are supposed to go into the ‘select problem data>Objective function’? How do I define lower/upper bounds with just one value for each when the surrogate models have multiple inputs?? How do I define non-linear constraints??
I put an image just to explain my problem better.
Thank you….Hi, all!

App Permission Policy set to block all Microsoft Apps – Impact on Core apps
I’m looking to restrict the apps a user can use within MS teams. We have not yet migrated to app centric management and we are using app permission policies for this currently. Out of the box it seems the Global (Org-wide Default) app permission policies allows all MS apps such as ‘Approvals’, ‘Planner’ etc. If I set the global policy as Microsoft -> Block All Apps will this still allow usage of the core apps like OneDrive,Excel etc. ?

Let Copilot in Excel help you get started
Hi everyone, last week we had a series of posts to show you some of the things that are possible to do with Copilot in Excel, focused on adding calculated columns to complete tasks. Continuing with Copilot in Excel examples, this week’s topic will be getting help from Copilot with the chat helper.
If you’re not sure where to get started, you could start by asking Copilot in Excel this question:
I’m trying to learn how to use Excel, what is the first thing I should try to learn?
Picture of Excel copilot pane showing the above prompt with 10 initial steps you can try to get started with Excel.
The chat helper in Copilot returns these 10 things to get started:
The first thing you should learn in Excel is how to navigate the interface and understand the basic concepts. Here are the initial steps you can take:
Understanding the Excel Interface: Familiarize yourself with the Ribbon, which contains tabs like Home, Insert, and Page Layout, each with its own set of commands.
Entering Data: Learn how to enter and edit data in cells. Practice selecting cells, entering numbers and text, and using the Enter and Tab keys to navigate.
Basic Formulas: Understand how to create basic formulas for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For example, to add two numbers in cells A1 and A2, you would use: =SUM(A1, A2)
Functions: Get to know simple functions like SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, and MAX.
Formatting: Learn how to format cells, including changing the number format, text alignment, and cell color.
Basic Navigation: Practice navigating through the workbook, switching between worksheets, and selecting ranges of cells.
Saving and Opening Files: Learn how to save your workbook in different formats and open existing files.
Creating Charts: Try creating a basic chart to visually represent your data.
Sorting and Filtering: Learn how to sort data alphabetically or numerically and how to filter data to display only the information you need.
Printing: Understand how to print your worksheets, adjusting page setup and print area as needed.
Starting with these basics will give you a solid foundation to build upon as you continue to learn and explore more advanced features of Excel.
The multi-turn capabilities of Copilot allow you to ask follow-up questions while keeping the same context. Perhaps you want to know more about workbook navigation. You could follow-up with this question:
Tell me more about how to navigate the workbook
Excel copilot pane showing the above prompt and a list of 10 tips for navigating your workbook.
The chat helper in copilot returns these 10 things to get started:
Navigating the workbook in Excel is essential for managing and analyzing your data efficiently. Here’s how you can navigate through an Excel workbook:
Worksheets: At the bottom of the Excel window, you’ll find tabs for each worksheet in your workbook. Click on a tab to switch to that worksheet. You can also reorder worksheets by clicking and dragging the tabs.
Scroll Bars: Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to move through the cells in a worksheet.
Go To: Press Ctrl + G or F5 to open the “Go To” dialog box, where you can type a cell reference to jump directly to that cell.
Name Box: The Name Box, located to the left of the formula bar, displays the cell reference of the active cell. You can also type a cell reference here and press Enter to go to that cell.
Arrow Keys: Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move one cell at a time in any direction.
Page Up/Page Down: Press Page Up or Page Down to move one screen up or down in your worksheet.
Ctrl + Arrow Keys: Hold down Ctrl while pressing an arrow key to jump to the edge of the data region in the direction of the arrow.
Find and Select: Use the Find & Select feature in the Editing group on the Home tab to search for specific data within your workbook.
Split and Freeze Panes: Use the Split and Freeze Panes features in the View tab to keep certain rows or columns visible while scrolling through the rest of your worksheet.
Zoom: Adjust the zoom level in the bottom-right corner of the Excel window to change the view size of your worksheet.
By mastering these navigation techniques, you’ll be able to move around your Excel workbook quickly and with ease.
All of that makes sense and I see a few keyboard shortcuts mentioned. I would like to learn more shortcuts. I follow-up with another question:
What the best keyboard shortcuts for navigation
Excel copilot pane showing the above prompt and a list of keyboard shortcuts for navigating in Excel.
The chat helper in copilot returns these 10 keyboard shortcuts:
Here are some of the most useful keyboard shortcuts for navigating in Excel:
Arrow Keys: Move one cell up, down, left, or right.
Ctrl + Arrow Key: Jump to the edge of data regions.
Page Up/Page Down: Move one screen up or down.
Alt + Page Up/Page Down: Move one screen to the right or left.
Home: Go to the first cell of the current row.
Ctrl + Home: Go to the beginning of the worksheet (A1).
Ctrl + End: Go to the last cell with content on a worksheet.
Ctrl + Page Up/Page Down: Move to the previous or next worksheet.
Ctrl + G or F5: Open the “Go To” dialog box to jump to a specific cell.
Ctrl + T: Create a table from the selected data range.
These shortcuts can significantly speed up your workflow and make it easier to navigate through your data in Excel.
These are just a few examples of questions that you can ask the chat helper in Excel copilot. Over the coming weeks I will be sharing more examples of what you can do with Copilot in Excel.
Thanks for reading,

Usable Video Format for Microsoft Support?

You give us the option to upload a video, but the format for which the WINDOWS OS’s SNIPPET TOOL USES AS WELL AS CIipChamp that is referenced as a program to edit with FROM THE SNIPPING TOOL (which this forum WOULDN’T even allow me to have as a word here…) uses MP4 BUT MP4 IS NOT ALLOWED…
I mean seriously who is in charge of this madness!? They should be ejected into the sun for this sort of stupidity, and then the tool tip gives you 0 information as well as the error. So freaking annoying and stupid.

SPO Recurring Event issues
To give a brief background, I initially created an event “SharePoint Refresher Session”, intended for users who had recently migrated from SharePoint ’07 to SharePoint Online.
I had to add users to this individually which was difficult to track when users switched departments.
In addition to this, when users declined this event it disappeared from their calendar forever, despite perhaps wanting to attend a session down the line.
It also seemed to send out invitational reminders to users every 1-3 months which resulted in users receiving unwanted invites.
As a result, I decided to make the meeting joinable instead of by invite and so set up a meeting and creating an event on SharePoint, sharing a joinable link.
The first session took place last Wednesday and we had no issues, I’m happy to say.
So last week I found out you could set a recurring event in SharePoint Online by creating a single event, going to site contents > Events > Editing the single occurrence and selecting the box to make it a recurring event.
I made this event recurring on the 2nd Wednesday of each month which was perfect as this is what my prior meeting was set for.
The first issue I saw was that it autogenerated an end date, even when you didn’t put one in.
If you select ‘no end date’, it’ll insert the last available end date available to it e.g., July 11 2071.
As well as that, the month part of that end date will always appear under the first date in the icon.
I can work around the above, it’s not the end of the world.
However, I’ve also noticed that once the event is over (currently 5 days after the event) it’s still at the top of my existing events.
To move it I had to manually change the start date (which nullifies the usefulness of the recurring event), which produced further issues which have since been rectified.
I’m just wondering is there a known solution to this or is it just easier to keep creating individual monthly events instead.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Assistance with Folder, Alias E-mail, and Focus/Other Tab
I have an alias e-mail that for a while showed up on the left-hand side of the outlook app and worked perfectly. Suddenly the App started changing my Focused/Other tabs to All/Unread, which caused the alias e-mail address to disappear (including the dropdown functions that include Inbox, Drafts, Junk Email, Outbox, Sent Mail, etc.). My App does not allow me to use View>View Focus E-mails and change the function. Thus, I went to the online/web version of outlook and made sure that the View by Focus/Other Tabs was checked. When I restarted the Outlook App, it worked at first and populated the alias e-mail and dropdown menu as if everything would smoothly like before. But then it disappeared, notably at the same time the Focused/Other tabs changed against to All/Unread.
If you follow, it seems that I’ve changed what I can to show Focused/Other Tabs but my Outlook App wants to reconfigure itself for some reason, about one to two minutes after loading. I do not want to only access the alias e-mail inbox via the web/online browser so my question is: How to fix this issue or “revert” the Outlook App to work as it was before.
Last Fact: My phone also has both e-mails working perfectly fine. So the issue the is solely with the Outlook App on my computer. Thanks for any thoughts or help on how to fix this issue.

I do not want to only access the alias e-mail inbox via the web/online browser so my question is: How to fix this issue or “revert” the Outlook App to work as it was before.
